Basic Node Setup
The Loader node connects to the input on a Lat Long Patcher node. The output of a Lat Long
Patcher node is set to Extract. It is then connected to whatever image-processing operation is
required. A second Lat Long Patcher node set to Apply takes an input from the processed
extraction and merges it over the top of the original source.

Inspector
Controls Tab
The Controls tab is used to extract and later reapply a section from an equirectangular image.
Rotation controls allow you to select the exact portion you need to repair.
Mode
 Extract: Pulls a de-warped 90-degree square image from the equirectangular image.
 Apply: Warps and merges a 90-degree square image over the equirectangular image.
Because the square image’s Alpha is used, this allows, for example, paint strokes
or text drawn over a transparent black background to be applied to the original
equirectangular image, avoiding any double-filtering from de-warping and re-warping
the original.
Rotation Order
These buttons choose the ordering of the rotations around each axis. For example, XYZ rotates
first around the X axis (pitch/tilt), then around the Y axis (pan/yaw), and then around the Z axis
(roll). Any of the six possible orderings can be chosen.
Rotation
These dials rotate the spherical image around each of the X, Y, and Z axes, offering
independent control over pitch/tilt, pan/yaw, and roll, respectively.
